Some apps get stuck in control panel
HotCakeX Yeah, we do not have any currently active bugs regarding PWAs failing to uninstall as expected now. The only risk now is potentially having old PWAs from before the bugs were fixed and those not getting updated correctly.
So if you see something uninstalling incorrectly, please do file feedback - we'd like to get it looked at asap.

HotCakeX and Deleted , you may also need to delete the registry key. If you installed some apps in the Edge 85 or 86 timeframe, we did have a bug with uninstall that could possibly leave entries behind. So after deleting the shortcuts, you should also search the registry for keys containing the name of the PWA you installed. For example: Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppModel\PackageRepository\Packages\app.starbucks.com-E712A2E4_1.0.0.1_neutral__ce1v4kad3fj6t

thank you, now i remember i used registry at some point to get rid of the leftovers.
reading your comment, I assume the problem is solved now? by that I mean I'm expecting Edge to automatically remove all installed PWAs during uninstall and don't leave them behind.

- I clean reinstalled Edge canary and I don't see the option to install NTP as PWA.
Will do, thank you
- Hi John,
I am unable to the app that was previously made, do I need to do registries or should it be fixed?
I sent feedback about it with the disganotics and a video, please take a look.
Thankyou
SHawnDeleted it sounds like it should be fixed. thanks so much for submitting feedback and a video, it's really helpful to the team here to read the feedback and see the issue in action.
Thanks
